The Vita-Mix Blender is an investment in YOUIf I moved to a desert island (with electricity) and was allowed just one piece of equipment, it would be the Vita-Mix TNC. This piece of equipment is way more powerful than your average blender, the Vita-Mix can handle ice, frozen fruit, nuts and seeds and all manner of other raw ingredients, as well as the more obvious soups, smoothies and dressings. I hate clutter on my counters. But a good blender is well worth the counter space it takes up. There's simply no tool I use and benefit from more.

I put up with a ratty $30 Osterizer blender for years. It produced lumpy smoothies and constantly jammed when making slaws, soups, and blended salads. When I made my sports drink of bananas and celery, the celery would be left in chunks, and I'd find myself coughing up strands of the stuff when out on a run with the mixture in my water bottle. It never gets jammed, it breaks up just about anything, and it produces smoothies that are actually smooth.

A Vita Mix makes the raw food lifestyle dramatically easier, and anything that lets you stick to fruits and vegetables is literally an investment in your health.

I've had my machine for 10 years. Yes they are expensive. Regular readers know that I make smoothies every morning! It's the work horse of my kitchen. The value I have already got out of that machine is a hundred times over what I paid for it. It will be priceless to you. The Vita-Mix machine has to be one of the most versatile pieces of kitchen equipment available in the world today, however, as many of you know, it's far from cheap.

Manufactured in the USA, where there are several models to choose from, the Vita-Mix TNC, and the Vita-Mix Super TNC. (TNC stands for Total Nutrition Centre). The difference between the two is very simple: the latter comes with an extra jug - a 'dry' jug as it is called, which is used purely for milling dry ingredients such as nuts, seeds and grains. It turns them into a fine powder in no time at all.

The basic TNC - though 'basic' is hardly a fitting word for this machine - comes with a 'wet' jug as standard. (The Super comes with both). It holds up to 2 litres of liquid, is made of a clear incredibly tough plastic (polycarbonate), has a durable rubber lid with a removable clear plastic top, for easy access for adding ingredients and also through which to place the 'tamper' (plunger) when needed. The completed jug fits onto the heavy square base, which is white, is fitted with a 2 horsepower, commercial duty motor, and has an on/off switch, a speed dial, and a variable speed option switch (full power/variable). The variety of speed settings is a very useful feature, and we make use of it often.

When I first came across the Vita-Mix at a raw food week conference in Estes Park, Colorado, I was very impressed. It's a big machine - it stands approx. 52cm tall (around 21"), and is very solid looking. The base also weighs quite heavy, so from every angle it seems to speak quality. I watched in amazement as it made light work of blending a whole assortment of foods, which, from experience, I knew my cheap high speed blender would never have handled.

However, it wasn't until I finally saved enough money to buy my own that I became aware of the wide range of uses it has. These include: 'Juicing' (though the fibre remains), milling, grinding, whipping, chopping, homogenizing, blending, creaming and puréeing.

It even 'cooks' if required (soups and so on), because of the speed the blades turn. If left long enough (minutes, rather than seconds) it will use the friction created by the blades to actually heat foods right up to 99 degrees -- and we all know we don't want to go any higher than that or we kill the enzymes and vitamins. But you have to let it run awhile before it actually gets warm. The food is made into a smoothie long before it gets warm.

The types of things I use my machine for are: 1. Super Thick smoothies using fresh or frozen ingredients2. Ice-creams using frozen fruit3. Dips and dressings of all types and consistencies4. Milling oats, grains or nuts for cookies, cakes or pizza bases5. Whipping for creamy desserts6. Soups 7. Good old icecream shakes

Before I bought it I wondered how frequently I would use such an expensive machine.Many people have kitchen equipment that just sits in you pantry. I use my juicer about 3-5 times a week in the summer, and less so in the winter, and my food processor maybe once or twice a month. Not so with the Vita-Mix. It's so easy and quick to use, and literally takes 10 seconds to clean, that mine gets used every single day, often more than once a day.

So while the cost seemed very high initially, when I weighed up the number of uses, the fact it has a 3 year warranty, the ease and speed of use and cleaning, and just how much benefit I will gain from it over the years to come it really has actually come to seem like excellent value for money.

There is plenty more I could say regarding its uses and how it works, why it is so powerful and durable and so on, however the Vita-Mix people have brought out a stunning colour brochure all of their own which does the job far better than I ever could. So for those of you who are interested in learning more, contact The Fresh Network.

However, as always I avoid trying to 'sell' anything to anyone, so this review is coming from me as a householder rather than a Vita-Mix agent! In which case it's time to mention the negatives as well as the positives.

To date, to be fair, I've never blown the fuse on it, but I did have it stop working a couple times. I was working it too hard, trying to process too much, too fast. As much as I hoped the machine would be invincible, I learned quite soon that even the Vita-Mix does have its limitations. So when the machine stopped for the first time I admit I panicked, but upon reading the manual I found that there is a special button underneath the base which simply needs to be popped back in to get the machine to start working again. (It has a safety mechanism built in so that should the machine start overheating it cuts out to protect the motor). All it meant was that in future I had to take more care with what I put in and the consistency of it.

Of course, I am possibly a harder taskmaster than most, and I was trying to blend a huge amount of dates with carob and avocado to make a large amount of chocolate pudding! But because the dates weren't soaked at all it struggled for a while, and this led to overheating - understandable really. The same thing happened with a large quantity of spinach. Once more, I just had to learn to either soak the ingredients first, or put the wet stuff in first. "Ah," I finally realised one day, "that's why it's called a 'wet' jug." So… be aware, it's important that you use at the very least moist ingredients when using the standard 'wet' jug.

Likewise the 'dry' jug should ideally only be used for dry foods, as mentioned earlier. It can double up for wet foods as well if you have both jugs and one has already been used, but it doesn't work the other way round - the wet jug can only be used for wet foods.

Apart from that, there have been no other problems or concerns encountered by me or my customers. It has just taken a bit of getting used to as to its limits, but there's no way I could go back to using just a normal blender as this is so superior in so many ways (I've gone though about three regular blenders --killed motors, and cracked glass hoppers)

What also makes this, on weighing everything up, a very good buy all told, is that with both machines you get a free instructional video, an impressive 'Getting Started' recipe binder containing hundreds of recipes and colour photos, and with the Super TNC comes a whole grains booklet to show you how best to use your dry jug.One more thing you can personally talk to me and ask questain about this product.

All in all, and it's a hard decision to make, if I could only have one piece of electrical kitchen equipment, it would be the Vita-Mix. The Champion juicer comes a very close second for juicing carrots, and I rely on that nearly as much.

But the best thing of all has to be the ease of cleaning, which is simply a case of filling the jug with warm water, giving it a whiz on high speed for a few seconds and pouring the water away to reveal a pristine jug. Magic!

The American Dietetic Association thinks you should be able to use any kind of non-calorie sweetener in any amount , at any time of the day so that you can increase the pleasure in your food without increasing the calories. I don't agree. It is best to avoid all no-calorie sweeteners, because they communicate to the receptors on you taste buds and numb them out. This skews taste so that the true full signal at future meals in now distorted and thus more calories are eaten. Lets point out that the ADA receives large amount of funding from fast-food agribusiness. Moderation not deprivation in the key. By using no-calorie sugars you have become a pawn in the game of profits at the expense of your health. Anything that controlls your brain makes you an addict and it becomes very had to be normal again. If you continue to ingest sweet tasting food in inappropriate amounts between meals your going to gain weight and be hungry all the time.

Say What? It Is All About Choosing Life The easy choice will be a radiant high-octane life full of bursts of energy, the ability to loose weight painlessly and the addition of ten years to you life. Americans Love To Hear Good Things About Bad Habits. I was at a restaurant recently and looked at the menu with astonishment. The Pasta Primavera was marked with a big red star that told me that it was “Low Carb.” How could it be? The massive plate was totally pasta topped with vegetables. Just deception ala-cart. I have seen low carb bread. Of course, it was totally carbs. It's what people want. Diet books are the hottest thing on the market. This is just samples of the current state of nutritional awareness.

Americans Spend 42 Minutes A Day Cooking And 8 Cleaning Up Consider some recent research on the links between cooking and dietary health. A 2003study by a group of Harvard economists led by David Cutler found that the rise of food preparation outside the home could explain most of the increase in obesity in America. Mass production has driven down the cost of many foods, not only in terms of price but also in the amount of time required to obtain them. The French fry did not become the most popular “vegetable” in America until industry relieved us of the considerable effort needed to prepare French fries ourselves. Similarly, the mass production of cream-filled cakes, fried chicken wings and taquitos, exotically flavored chips or cheesy puffs of refined flour, has transformed all these hard-to-make-at-home foods into the sort of everyday fare you can pick up at the gas station on a whim and for less than a dollar. The fact that we no longer have to plan or even wait to enjoy these items, as we would if we were making them ourselves, makes us that much more likely to indulge impulsively.

Cutler and his colleagues demonstrate that as the “time cost” of food preparation has fallen, calorie consumption has gone up, particularly the consumption of junk food. They found that when we don’t have to cook meals, we eat more of them: as the amount of time Americans spend cooking has dropped by about half, the number of meals Americans eat in a day has climbed; since 1977, we’ve added approximately half a meal to our daily intake. Cutler and his colleagues also surveyed cooking patterns across several cultures and found that obesity rates are inversely correlated with the amount of time spent on food preparation.

The more time a nation devotes to food preparation at home, the lower its rate of obesity. In fact, the amount of time spent cooking predicts obesity rates more reliably than female participation in the labor force or income. Other research supports the idea that cooking is a better predictor of a healthful diet than social class: a 1992 study in The Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that poor women who routinely cooked were more likely to eat a more healthful diet than well-to-do women who did not.

So cooking matters — a lot. Which when you think about it, should come as no surprise. When we let corporations do the cooking, they’re bound to go heavy on sugar, fat and salt; these are three tastes we’re hard-wired to like, which happen to be dirt cheap to add and do a good job masking the shortcomings of processed food. And if you make special-occasion foods cheap and easy enough to eat every day, we will eat them every day. The time and work involved in cooking, as well as the delay in gratification built into the process, served as an important check on our appetite. Now that check is gone, and we’re struggling to deal with the consequences.

These are only some of the benefits of the liquid light vegetables and fruits. They all can be yours. The price? Simply changing your diet. It’s never been so straightforward and easy. Just replace animal food with fruit and vegetables. It is easy to achieve profound benefits within the week.

Principle #1Nutrition is a combination of real food. The whole is greaterthan the sum of its parts (quantum physics 2 + 2 = 16)

Principle #2Vitamins supplements don’t work. People that want to continue eating their customary foods and pop a few pills will not get better. Consumers have been duped by multi-billion dollar industry.

Principle #3Plants provide nutrients better than animal nutrients. Plants have dramatically more antioxidants, fiber, and mineralsthan animal food. Animal food, on the other hand has much more cholesterol and fat.

Principle #4 Genes do not determine disease on their own. Genes function only by being activated or expressed, nutrition plays a critical role in determining which genes, good, and bad, are expressed.

Much of the hype on genes is for the fear factor. Genes are never fully expressed all at one time. Much of the time they are biochemically dormant and they do not effect your health. They don’t do anything. Dozens of studies have shown that as people migrate to a new country they assume the disease risk of the new country to which they do not change their genes.

Principles #5Nutrition can substantially control the adverse effects of chemicals. Nutrition primarily determines whether the disease will do it’s damage.

Principle #6 The same nutrition that prevents disease in its early stages can stop the disease in its later stages. Nutrition is your hope.

Principle #7Drugs and Surgery don’t cure the diseases that kill most AmericansSo many people believe that nothing can be done, this translates into the fatalistic notion that once you’re sick – it is over. Many studies show that cancer can be initiated into animals, with liquid light fruits and vegetables the cancer can be slowed, halted, and even reversed. Raw Liquid Light diets reverse advanced heart disease, Raw liquid Light diets help obese people reverse diabetesAn ounce of prevention does a pound of cure. Don’t give up.

Principle #8 Change takes strategizing -- you don’t fall into it by chance.Many people attempt to transform dietary habits that are health robbing. They fail for three reasonsNever start, just all talk.Jump in over their heads (all or nothing mentality)Successfully start and then old unwanted behaviors re-emerge.

Those that successfully adopted and maintained a new healthy eating lifestyle usually did so in stages over a period of time. They did so with gradual increments, rather than all at one. They start by developing a taste for new food combinations. They work at preparing and enjoying food that is more nutritious - they make it a habit. Progression in gradual increments is the key for establishing new routines. People who make too many changes too fast, greatly decreases the changes of being able to maintain them. The more committed and specific you are about what actions you are going to take, the more likely you will be to take them.

Have A Specific Plan And Follow It

You must have a plan and follow it, a plan that is specific to your personal needs. There is no one size fits all. What fits your life? You must devise a plan that will work for you and then modify as you go along.

Was Grandpa A Crazy Old Geezer?There is mental dysfunction that is serious. This is called dementia and there are two kinds: vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s. Vascular is caused by multiple little strokes resulting from broken blood vessels in the brain. It is common for elderly people to have silent stokes in their later years. They are silent because they go undiagnosed. The other is Alzheimer’s it occurs when a protein substance called beta-amyloid accumulates in critical areas of the brain this plaque is cholesterol laden. This is associated with cardiovascular disease, stroke, and adult onset Type 2 diabetes. These entire diseases cluster in the same population often times in the same people. Hypertension is a factor along with high blood cholesterol.

Genetics plays a role, but environmental factors play a key role and most probably the dominant one. Alzheimer’s rates are low in areas where fruits and vegetables are eaten. Western American diets have the most Alzheimer’s. Clearly, diet has an important voice in determining how well we think in our later years. What exactly are your going to do about it? Both can be corrected with diet. Antioxidant can shield our brains from this damage as in other diseases. Animal based breakfast, lunches, and dinners lack antioxidant shields and tend to increase free radical production and cause damage. Raw Liquid Light Smoothies are abundant in antioxidant and veggies is your easy answer.

Steak and Fries Upped Alzheimer’s 3.3 TimesScientists conducted mental exams, assessed food intake for 2 years, and found that the people who consumed the most fat and saturated fat had the highest dementia due to vascular problems. The risk of getting the disease of Alzheimer’s was 3.3 times greater among people had high animal intakes. Smoothies decrease animal intake.

Do You Sunbath in the Winter?Radical Revision Of The Sun The sun is not deadly. The leading vitamin D scientists in the world have started that traditional medicine was dead wrong when it comes to sun avoidance. (of course most of the studies were paid for over the years by companies that mad sun tan lotion and bug sprays) An itty bit of your Vitamin D does come from food, but most comes from a few hours a week we spend in the sun. The Vitamin D that we get in our skin travels to the liver where it is converted by enzymes and stored. This Vitamin D will last about 24 days. The next step is crucial. When you need some Vitamin D, enzymes convert the stored D to an active supercharged Vit. D. This new D is 1000 times more active and powerful than the storage stage vitamin D, but its only super duper for about six to eight hours.

Certain Disease Are More Common Without Sunshine FACT -- Countries in the northern hemisphere have more Type 1 Diabetes, MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Breast and Prostrate Cancer and Cancer in general.

MS is 100 times more prevalent in the north than at the equator. Similarly in Australia, the farther south you go, the more disease there is. Around the world, the farther one gets from the equator, and the sun, the more likely you are to find people with high blood pressure and heart disease. Lack of exposure to ultraviolet light actually contributes to the rise of these diseases in higher latitudes.

Have You Overlooked This Vitamin? 85% of Americans are deficient walking around with the symptoms of Rickets. 8 out of every 10 folks reading this book need to respond to this fact. It is simply not enough if you work indoors to walk to your car. Even folks who live in Colorado or Arizona have dangerously LOW blood levels of Vit. D.

THIS FACT REQUIRES ACTION ON YOUR PART!

Receptors that respond to Vitamin D have been found in almost every type of human cell, from your brain to your bones. Researchers keep finding health benefits from vitamin D in virtually every area of your body. Sure, long-term excessive exposure to sunlight can increase the risk of certain types of skin cancer. However, moderate sun exposure is less dangerous than sporadic sun exposure. Sun exposure without sunburn significantly decreases the risk of melanoma. Safe sun exposure is the key. Assignment #5 Go outside and noontime and sit for 13 minutes with minimal clothes.

Why Can’t You Just Buy Vitamin D? You must be aware of each player in the orchestra when it comes to the sunshine vitamin. The parathyroid makes the enzyme that goes to the liver to make the super D. There are other enzymes that help make the super D along the way. Without each player in the band, the finished product would not happen. Buying one synthetic component made in a lab will not make it all come together.

Scientist say that following the ridiculous recommendations to avoiding the sun has caused a minimum of 20,000 extra cancers per year, and it is far more likely the number actually exceeds 50,000. This just includes the deaths. It does not include heart disease or autoimmune diseases like MS or rheumatoid arthritis. First, it’s important to realize that vitamin D is not “just a vitamin,” but it has potent multiple effects on the body, it repairs and maintenances to your body. Each cell in your body has its own DNA library that contains information needed to deal with virtually every kind of problem it might encounter. Vitamin D opens the door for you body to all that information.

The major biologic function of Vitamin D is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium, helping to form and maintain strong bones. It promotes bone mineralization in concert with a number of other vitamins, minerals, and hormones. It is the same old quantum thinking. 2 + 2 = 14. Without Vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, soft, or misshapen. Vitamin D prevents rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults -- a disease that result in defects that weaken bones.

It Is All About Fear The TV and newspapers shout it out, it’s all about fear. Don’t get me started, but everybody wants you unable to make a decision for yourself. It is about the economy, or the bird flu. They don’t want you to think for yourself. It’s absolutely tragic that dermatologists and sunscreen manufacturers have done such a thorough job of scaring people out of the sun – again their answer to this problem -- makes them money. Don't buy into their fears -- you don't need their products.

48 Hours Before the Sun Reaches Your Bloodstream? If you thought as I did that the sunshine goes right into your body, you would be wrong. New evidence shows it takes up to 48 hours. Therefore, if you shower with soap, you will simply wash off some of the sunshine. Therefore, to optimize your D3 levels you need to delay washing. I can hear all you stinky folks out there gasping. What about B.O.? Not many folks live in caves like hermits. You only need to use soap underneath your arms and your groin area. You will just want to avoid soaping up the larger areas of your body that were exposed to the sun.

There are two primary forms of ultraviolet radiation from the sun. UVA and UVB. UVA has a frequency of 320 to 400 nanometers, and this causes you to tan. UVB is the good guy and its wavelengths are from 280 to 320. (A wavelength is the distance a wave has to travel before it starts repeating itself, and a nanometer is a millionth of a meter.) Because UVA is longer, it penetrates the skin and materials like window glass. When it goes into the skin, it causes free radical damage. UVA is quite constant during all the hours of daylight and though out the entire year. (That is why you can burn on a cloudy day.) By comparison, UVB waves (the good kind) are low in the morning, evening, and high at midday and can be filtered out by window glass. Take your sunbathing outside, sitting in a sunny window will not work.

Good UVB’s Cancel The Bad UVA’s Malignant melanoma has been increasing at an exponential rate in indoor workers since before 1940. The reason is indoor exposure to UVA radiation. Unlike UVB, which is blocked by glass, UVA can pass though windows. UVA can cause cancerous mutations. To much sun or sunburn can break down the good Vitamin D formed in your skin after outdoor UVB exposure. Vitamin D from UVB are important defenses against melanoma when you have an equal amount of UVB to UVA.

3 Ways To Get Vit. A.The best way is sunshineRegular use of a safe healthy tanning UVB bedFood high in Vit AVitamin pill -- Natural sunlight cannot be over accumulated and is never toxic. I'm just for the real thing.

The recommendation for Vit A is from 1000 to 5000 IU of Vitamin D daily. Vit A can become toxic. Why, because you store Vitamin D and don’t turn it into Super D until you need it. Oral supplements of Vitamin D can take six months or longer to normalize. When outside you get both UVA and UVB together. To obtain this amount from milk one would need to consume 50 glasses. With a multi-vitamin, you would need more than 10 tablets. Neither is advisable. Supplements become ineffective when eaten with calcium, or protein.

Shedding Light On Best Sun Food Sources Food source are very limited and that is why I am stressing to you the need to be outside.

Holly How Much Sun – Be Exact? Glad you asked. The key point here is to optimize your vitamin D intake by subjecting a large portion of you body to13 minutes of safe outdoor noon sun exposure, being careful not to get sunburned. You need this about 3 times a week. If you know exactly how much sun, it takes for you to turn your skin pink, then one-fourth of this time will be needed for you to spend in the sun, about 2 to 3 times a week. This is about 5,000 IU.

Who Needs More Sun Than Most?Overweight folks Pregnant ladies this is very criticalElderly Cavemen who never go outside – their skin has lost the ability to generate Vit. DDarker skinned folks have higher melanin and this blocks UVB

Sunscreen Blocks Your Body Production Of Vit D In fact, sunscreens reduce vitamin D production by 99%. This has health consequences especially if your only out in the sun once in a great while. BAM More lies to sell products

Expose The Sunscreen Smokescreen Sunscreens are toxic because they contain ocytl methozycinnamate. OMC will kill mouse cells even at low doses. OMC is found in 90% of the brands. Another toxic chemical used is butyl -ethoxydibenzoylmethane. These chemicals are quickly absorbed through out the biggest organ the skin and circulated by the blood stream. Dioxybenzone and oxybensone are the most powerful free radical generator known to man. Two more products that are xenoestrogens to watch out for are sodium laurel sulfate (a thickener) and parabens (harsh chemical preservative.) CA-CHING Don’t buy it and save $.

Cardiovascular studies have found that 13 minutes, 3 times a week in the sun will improve cardiovascular fitness scores by 19%. Many studies show that D increases the size and number of Type II (fast twitch) muscle fibers. It has also been show to increase musculoskeletal performance in older individuals. Vitamin D will make you faster, stronger, and will improve your balance and timing. In order to understand how Vitamin D affects athletic performance you need to remember that Vitamin D is not really a vitamin but rather a steroid in the same way that testosterone is a steroid.

HomeworkPlan how can you get 13 minutes of sun during lunchSet a goal on the numbers this week you can get some sun.

Prostrate cancer certainly a genetic component, but what environmental factors do you think are important? You guessed it. Plant based enzymes rich, high frequency fruits, and vegetables. Animal products give bad results. A Harvard study reviewed 23other prostrate studies – the results – Men with the most intake of dairy had a four-fold increase risk in prostrate cancer. Those with the least dairy and the most fruits and vegetables had the least cancer. Eat your smoothies and have a great sex life.

Skip Liquid Calories Starbucks has really done a disservice to folks, did you know that the Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccinno Blended Creme is 580 calories. Even the Caffe Mocho is 300 calories without whipped cream and with it is almost 400. Most people are drinking these concoctions every day, sometimes several times a day. There's nothing wrong with black coffee, it has only 10 calories per cup. Even that nonfat venti-sized iced vanilla latte will cost you 240 calories, mostly in milk and sugar.

Here's a weight- loss and diabetes tip: Instead of a fancy coffee order a venti iced coffee with sugar free vanilla syrup, than add a small amount of milk (2 Tab.) Total calorie count ? A mere 20 calories -- for the same taste sensation. The problem lies in the cream, whole milk, whipped cream, caramel sauce and what ever else they dream up to add. Ditto with the smoothies from places like Jamba Juice. Most of these drinks start with canned non-enzyme sugar juices and they are 400 to 500 calories more than my home made liquid light smoothies

Agonizing pain is the first thought, when you mention kidney stones. These stones have crystallized points all over them that cut and snag as it tries to pass down the thin little tube (ureter.) Don’t expect an aspirin to stop your pain. 15% of Americans, mostly men experience these stones that involve calcium and ovalate. Dr. Ronertson of Medical Research council of Leeds has published over 100 papers in the last 30 years on the relationship of food and the stones. Animal products are the culprit. Affluent countries have four to six times the stones. Research shows that simply by shifting the diet away from animal protein the problem is resolved. When the kidney is under high amount of protein or calcium the stones form. Switching from bacon, eggs, and hash brown potatoes fried in butter breakfast to a Raw Liquid Light swirling mass of potential will keep yourself out of your local E.R. Another good trick is to never eat calcium products like ice cream or just plain cream with coffee or tea caffeine (Ice tea included.) The processes little cups of cream at your restaurant table you don't have to worry about -- they don't contain real milk.

Breast Cancer releases FEAR --- smoothies zap free radical damage Research shows less than 3% of cancer can be attributed to family history. I bet you never heard that before? The cancer industry doen't want that little itty bitty number out there........... The vast majority is attributed to genetic fatalism in the women and the national mindset. Medical clinics make tons of money off their Mamo machines. Our x-ray mamo machine paid for the whole department. Doctors encouraging the yearly mamo and made sure every woman came in at least once a year. Ca-Ching $$$ it easy money, and that is what it is all about – not your health. If the TV reminds you that it is Buddy boob check time – it is all about fear and $$$$. Excitement over the BRCA – 1 and 2 genes is just more about fear and $$$. 1 in 500, or 0.2% actually carry the breast cancer gene. Having the gene doesn’t guarantee you will get cancer. A recent paper review 42 studies on the BRCA and found the in BRAC-1 only 65% who had the gene (that 1person in 500) got breast cancer and 39% ovarian cancer. Those with the BRAC #2, only 45% got breast cancer and 11% got ovarian cancer. What is 11% of one equal? One in 5000, women are affected, but your local doctor wants you to rush right out and spend big bucks on this test, that will help keep their lab department busy.

Breast Cancer is centered on the exposure to estrogen. Diet plays a major role in that exposure. This suggests that breast cancer is preventable. The sad truth is most are not aware of this evidence. Why doesn’t the medical field recognize the nutritional origin and then correct it. Breast Cancer is big business. Suggesting diet changes doesn’t’ make the drug companies any money. Looking for new wonder drugs keeps hundreds of people employed. How about a 10K run for fruits and vegetables? BAM The truth will set your free from FEAR of cancer.

THE HEART NEVER GETS CANCER??. Cancer cells lie dormant in a ph of 7.4 but as the body gets alkalized higher and the ph level reaches 8.4 these malignant cells die off. So the answer to cancer lies in an extremely alkaline diet. With the right consumption leading to a high alkaline body ph the cancer cells cannot live in that environment and die off. The next question is can cancer be prevented and cured by consuming a diet with less acid and more alkaline.

How does an alkaline diet prevent cancer?Such a diet leads to a high alkaline body ph. This high alkaline body ph results in alkaline tissues in the body. Alkaline tissues hold 20 times more oxygen than acidic tissues. Cancer cannot live in an oxygenated atmosphere. If the cells are oxygen rich they will prevent cancer. Therefore while an acidic tissue will be an ideal ground for cancer to develop as well as spread, an alkaline tissue will destroy a cancer cell. Having a lot of green vegetables and fruits along with alkaline water can save you from cancer. To give your body the best alkaline/acidic balance requires one to eat foods that are highly alkalizing while avoiding the acidifying foods. Increasing the vegetables in your smoothies alkalizing your body.

If the body has lots of toxins and eat a diet of meat, carbs and sugar it becomes acidic quickly. As the body gets acidic the immune system gets overpowered and the cell looses its capacity to take in oxygen. Cancer cells being anaerobic cannot live in oxygen. They can only thrive in very low oxygen conditions. When the ph of the body is maintained by consuming an alkaline diet the immune system of the body stays strong. This leads to the cells getting enough oxygen and discarding their toxin waste. Cancer will neither thrive nor take birth under such circumstances. Yea for veggies !!!

HomeworkWrite down your plan on how you will resturcture you eating as to stay healthy and cancer free.

The latest study published in Health Affairs revealed that the United States now ranks 49th for male and female life expectancy worldwide, a ranking that has fallen sharply from fifth place in 1950. At the same time that life expectancy has been declining at faster rates than many other industrialized nations, per capita health spending has been on the rise. Specifically, U.S. per capita health spending rose at nearly twice the rate of other developed countries between 1970 and 2002, which means the U.S. spends more than twice the amount on health care as other developed nations. American medical care is the most expensive in the world, and what do we get for this "price?"

Is Academic Medicine For Sale?

Drug companies don't do real health research. The only type of research that is funded and recognized is investigation into drugs. The AMA says that the only thing that heals is drugs (so if acupuncture, herbs, or nutrition healed you it just didn’t happen.) Do you believe that all the pink breast cancer people are looking for a way to heal Cancer? They are not looking for the cure to the disease. They are looking for chemicals that their company can produce that will make them millions -- that will cure it. So when you give them your hard earned $$$ it is only to put drugs money in their pocket.

Science journals are merely little more than marketing vehicles for the drug companies. Doctors are the principal salespeople of the drug companies. They are rewarded with research grants, gifts, and lavish perks. The public - from infants to the elderly - MUST be thoroughly medicated and vaccinated...at any cost! Why do the authorities forbid alternative medicine? Because they are serving the industry, and the industry cannot make money with herbs, vitamins, and homeopathy. They cannot patent natural remedies. That is why they push synthetics. They control medicine, and that is why they are able to tell medical schools what they can and cannot teach. Research on the cause of disease and non-drug interventions simply doesn’t occur in medical educational settings. The medcial journals primary income comes from the advertisements of drugs, of course. When I have tried to talk to doctors about nutrition they say to me, “Get serious about medicine, that diet stuff is granola hippy quack stuff.” One doc told me it was witchcraft.

Dr’s Egos Are Enormous

“I’ve had one doctor ask, “Do you think you can heal heart disease with Swiss chard and broccoli?” They know they personally, can’t fix the problem so they become very defensive. The real facts are they are making a fortune doing heart surgeries and they don’t want me to take that away. Most hospitals make 80% of their money off heart patients. It is far easier to document and quantify procedures for reimbursement than it is to document and quantify lifestyle changes that prevent the need for such procedures in the first place.

Dr Favaloro said, "there is an unreasonable gap between the medical enthusiasm devoted to acute interventions and the meager efforts currently devoted to secondary prevention." There will always be a situation in which a patient with unstable coranry artery disease will require urgent bypass or intervention, but I am convinced that imporved nutrition , we can spare a growing majority of patients from procedures that don't last. Dr. John Cook of Stanford Univeristy says " Angioplasties hardly ever save lives, and do nothing to cure heart disease. In my opinion it is far better and well within our abilty to restore health by the dietary approach. Angioplasty should be reserved for emergency situation only."

17 Years Behind Dr. Bill First, U.S. Senate Majority leader recently lamented "It takes an average of 17 years for doctors to adopt widley the finding of basic research." What he was saying is that the average doc hasn't got the latest info. This information in the book is not being used at any doc's office. His practice has not cought up with science. He is too busy to read tons of research papers, his only source of daily constant persisitant input is the drug representatives who's job it is to sell him on the newest and latest way for their company to make money.

Google -- Fix Diabetes in 30 days....... it's being done...The good news is that although this disease accounts for almost half of the annual death toll in the western nations from all causes, it is, in most cases, curable, permanently, quickly, economically, completely and often easily and by natural means. This means little or no reliance upon synthetic designer drugs and no ineffective medical treatments for symptoms, while causal agents remain untreated.

The bad news is that the orthodox medical community cannot afford to cure this disease. It forms a financial backbone to the entire orthodox medical establishment. Should an effective cure be popularized, the resulting financial impact to the medical business, the drug business, several of our tax free foundations and a large part of our food processing industry would be severe. Many hospitals would close and many doctors, notably heart surgeons, would soon need to find another line of work. Many drug companies and a large part of the food industry would have to either shut down or greatly change their way of doing business. I had a doc make a cliants of mine named Trish repeat after him -- " I am a diabetic, I'm going to be a diabetic all my life and I'm going to have to take insulin forever." Trish never went on insulin and today lives a normal diabetic free life.

Dr’s are Demonstrating Dramatic Heart Disease Reversal They are removing carbs and and increasing fruits and vegetables. Cardiologisst who follow this have peer-reviewed data prove that heart disease may be arrested and reversed though changes in diet and lifestyle. 4 billion of this world's 5 billion people eat less meat, and more vegetables and fruit. This diet is the standard fare for the rest of the world where they don't have our chronic ailments. You have a clear choice. You can use drugs and have invasive surgery that will do nothing to cure heart disease OR you can arrest and reverse the disease and improve your life by changing your diet. Do you want another option? Do you want to arrest and reverse your disease?

If three servings lowers Your risk by 22%, the benefits can add up fast to 100%. 2060 people between 65 to 90 were studied for the effects of animal VS vegetable diets on cognifive performance and strokes. What was found was that plant based, high frequency, live food was optimal for brain function. All partisipants had better short term memory. Low levels of Vitamin C were linked to poor cognitive performance on written tests. Research concluded that for every three additional servings of fruits and vegetables a day, the risk of stroke would be reduced by 22%. Three servings is less than you think. This study used ½-cup peaches, ¼-cup tomato sauce, and ½ cup of broccoli or one potato. Half a cup is not much food. The men in this study who consumed the most fruits and vegetables consumed as many as nineteen servings a day. If every three servings lowers Your risk by 22%, the benefits can add up fast to 100%. (J. Nutr. 111 (1981):553-562.)

How Can You Have The Same Results? It is return to Rule #1.......It is not rocket science – it is easy -- Decrease the animal and refined carb products in your life and start drinking liquid light smoothies.

Medicine Is Hooked On Drugs Many of the doctors I worked for got free meals, free entertainment, free travel, and free airline tickets. The drugs companies have conferences in lovely places such as Cozamel or Hawaii. The company pays for everything and the conference speakers are little more than sales reps for the drug company. Nevertheless, the doctors’s have a great week’s vacation and pay nothing or write everything off as training expenses. The companies don’t forget the doctor’s wives either; there are plenty of free gifts and vouchers for shopping. I have umbrellas, coffee mugs, note pads, tons of stuff with the drug company's name on it that my doc had too much of.

Big Medicine – Who’s Health Do You Think They Are Promoting? Most of the confusion about nutrition that has been created is legal, done in a fully disclosed way by unsuspecting, well-intentioned people. The most damaging aspect is that they put their spin on the little bit of truth that is real. A little truth makes it sound like the whole thing is the truth. The industry has spent millions of dollars making sure you can’t perceive it. That’s what we call advertising. CA-CHING Scams, tricks and outright lies are as old as snake oil.

Lycopene Heals CancerYou have probably heard of it. It is true and has been reported that people who eat tomatoes have a lower risk of prostrate cancer. Industry zeroes in on the lycopene found in tomatoes, not the fact that tomatoes healed cancer. The media needing hot juicy info. climbs on board and proclaims the great news everywhere. Suddenly it escalates and everyone knows that lycopene stops prostrate cancer 100%. Google reports more than 1361 scientific publications on lycopene and cancer and 876,000 articles that talk about it in general. BUT -- Quietly information has started to come out disproving all the hype.

Here is the spin. Study after study shows that real live red tomatoes with lycopene do decrease prostrate cancer, but there is some doubt that the isolate chemical of lycopene will do the same ?? There are thousands of chemicals in a tomato. Science just can't prove that the isolated lycopene will do what a tomato can do for you. However, the lycopene business is up and running full throttle. Vitamin companies will stage hundreds of studies and word their conclusion very deceptively to their advantage. Tons of advertising will say that they have proved beyond a doubt that their product will decrease cancer? The big problem is that your body recognizes the tomatoe as healthy. It is matabolized as good. The synthetic lycopene molecule that is made in a lab is not recognized by the body and it is matabolized as a toxic strange molecule.

Who has more Vit C? one orange or 1 cup of broccoli? Would it surprise you to know that there are many fruits and vegetables that have way more Vit C, than an orange? One cup of strawberries, pepper, broccoli, and peas have much more. Ningxia berries have three times as much. Papaya’s has four times as much. Don’t get tricked into thinking that the vitamin department is the health section at your store. It is NOT. The best nutrition is found in the fruits and vegetables or produce section.

Acute Medicine Is The Place For Doctors Having a serious car accident or trauma requires a doctor, but for cases of cancer, arthritis, allergies, or any other degenerative disease you need to refocus your cell health. Conventional Medicine Doesn’t Have A Clue. Prove it? You say, I’m glad you asked. Has conventional medicine cured Diabetes?

There are estimated seventeen to twenty million diabetics in the USA, being one eighth of our population. Spending $132 billion on medical care and lost wages yearly, many loose eyesight, have heart complications, kidney disease, and amputations. 95% of these diabetics are Type 2, with 80% of them being hugely obese. 1% of Americans had diabetes a century ago according to the Center for Disease Control. Bertrand E Lowenstein M.D. reported in his book "Diabetes."

Who Have The Most Complications? The death rate from diabetes among doctors was reported to be 35% higher than that of the general population. Robert Young, in the book "The PH Miracle for Diabetes" reported that docs have the worst consequences from being diabetics. He says the doctors follow their own treatment programs more strictly. So What Does This Say? SIMPLIFYING COMPLICATIONS IS THE FIRST ESSENTIAL OF SUCCESS --Now does it make sense if you have a problem with carbohydrates – to eat processed carbohydrates?

The Third Grade Answer When a doctor tells his patient to continue to eat the problem, we think he his God. (Most folks like to hear they don’t have to make any changes) Would any diabetic be willing to try a small experiment like not eating any processed white carbs for a week, to find the solution. No bread, noodles, rice, potatoes, pasta, cookies, cakes, sugar processed desserts, bananas or grapes. (Be sure and have your doc. watch your blood sugar levels and adjust your insulin accordingly) In most people, it usually only takes about four days, the insulin requirement drops, and the panaceas moves toward functioning better. Robert Young and many other clinics in the United States are putting this simple thought into practice and have found amazing. His book “The PH Miracle for Diabetics” is worth reading – guaranteed to lower any Diabetics insulin requirement.

You will become an intellectual threat to your doc..........It is something, more than just money. It may be an intellectual threat that the patient should be in control, and not the doctor; that something as simple as food could be more powerful than all the knowledge of pills and high–tech procedures; it may be the lack of nutritional education in medical school; who knows. The bottom line is that the medical industry is not protecting anybody’s health but their own. Nobody is looking out for you, but you. A fool and his money and his health are soon parted.

The smoothie has less calories, and cholesterol.The Fat Myth For years the American Heart Association. (1996) and the American Diabetes Association (since 1997) have been pushing a low fat diet? They said if you don't eat fat you won't gain weight. There is only one problem, science didn't support these recommendation and time proved it wrong. Over the last 30 years Americans have followed their doc's advice and the obesity rate has tripled. Fat consumption is down by 42%, and yet American's are growing fatter. For the first time in history the human species expectancy is declining, so that children of this generation will live sicker and die younger than their parents. Americans tried to fix their hunger feelings with white flour, white rice, pasta, potatoes and sugar. These types of carbohydrates raised insulin levels which in turn promoted weight gain. The American Heart Association's own statistics show that between 1979 and 1996 medical procedures for heart disease increased from 1/2 million to 5.4 million. Heart disease did not decrease with the low fat diet either. Thank you, doctors for all your help.All Fats Are NOT Created Equal The most dangerous fats are called "trans fats" they are man made and resemble the molecule of plastic. These are found when margarine and shortening are produced and are just plain toxic. They block your metabolism, give you no energy, create weight gain and increase your risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer, ten fold. The commerical baking industry loves them because they make carb products that will not spoil or mold. They remain stable in landfills for generations after generation. A twenty year on going trial on Twinkies has found that they will not mold or rot. Personally, I have a package of individually wrapped cheese slices that are 10 years old. They have not molded and don't look a spec different than the day they were bought at the grocery store.

Drug companies would have you believe that the "bad" or LDL (low density lipotrotein) cholesterol is the single biggest factor in the development of heart disease. But the truth is that the determining factor is the ratio of your total cholesterol to you "good" or HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol. There is an easy way to remember this cholesterol thing LDL is for lousy cholesterol, HDL is the happy cholesterol. The truth is that ratio between your total cholesterol and your HDL is almost entirely determined by the type and amount of carbohydrates you eat and not by the amount of fat you consume.

Why Haven’t You Heard About All This Before? When I talk science to people, I often hear “If that is true why doesn’t the media tell us that?” or “Why do I hear just the opposite?” These are great questions. The answers are a crucial part of the cover-up. Much is governed by the golden rule. Those who have the gold make all the rules. There are powerful, influential and enormously wealthy industries that stand to loose a huge amount of cash if you change how you eat. Their financial health depends on you spending your dollar with them. The U.S. spent $250 billion last year on heart disease. It paid for cardiac drugs, for clot dissolving medication, for costly mechanical techniques that bypass clogged arteries and widen them with balloons, tiny rotating knives, laser, and stents. All these carried with them serious complication , including death. BUT, they do nothing at all to cure the underlying disease or to prevent it from development into other diseases. I believe the medical profession has taken the wrong course. The doc's are watching millions of people fall of the cliff while they should be teaching us how to avoid the chasm entirely. I believe heart disease and diabetes are preventable, their progress can be stopped, and their insidious effect reverse. Are you at the end of the cliff? Do you grasp the implication of what I have told you.You have hope! Jeff's total blood cholesterol count to just 89 mg/dL and cut his LDL or bad cholesterol from 98 Mg/dL to 38 mg/dL.

Fat Chance!! Some fats actually are good for you, and even help you loose weight. I would even go so far as to say some fats are healthy and some are lethal. Bad fats turn off you fat burning genes and make you fat. Good fats bind with the same PRAR receptors and increase your metabolism, help you burn the fat and you more insulin sensitive. Flax seed oil and coconut oil actually bind with the receptors and improve insulin sensitivity, while trans fats, and Omega 6 fats found in french fries have the exact opposite effect, blocking your metabolism and slowing down your bodies ability to utilise it's food. The type of fat you consume is way more important than the amount of fat you eat. Your brain is made up of 60% fat, including a special saturated fat called lauric acid which is an omega-3 fat. These fats are also found in our cell membranes and are used as preferred sources of energy by the heart. This same fat helps the immune system by killing viruses and bad yeasts. Lauric acid, is found in raw coconuts, coconut milk, coconut oil, palm fruit oil and macdamia nuts and oils. These fats help sharpen your short term memory --could you use some help in that department -- or can't you remember?

Eating Fats does NOT raise you cholesterol

20 years of physician telling you to eat low fat food and take your pills -- will not change the above science fact. Eating fat doesn't make you fat. All non-biased science based information proves that eating polyunsaturated fats DOES NOT make you fat nor does it raise your cholesterol. (All information from the drugs companies that make satin drugs that lower your cholesterol will tell you that fat is bad) All cholesterol is formed by eating saturated fat plus sugars and/or refined carbohydrates. Feedlot raised beef contains 500% more saturated fat than grass-fed beef. There are many reasons for choosing to eat cleaner forms of animal protein, which as reduced intake of pesticides, hormones (to make the cow meat more fat) and antibiotics (to keep them healthy in small filthy feedlots.) (If you live in northern Colorado I have many farm folks who grow healthy cows and can give you there names and numbers -- their meat is no more expensive than feed lot regular cows.)

The Greenland Inuit population has been studied for years, extensively because they have eaten 70% of their diet as fat. They eat polar bear fat, seal fat, Arctic whale fat, walrus fat and other easy to find food on the North Pole. They eat very few carbs and some veggie and fruit. Thousands of them remain thin and healthy, remaining free of heart disease, obesity and diabetes, why? All these food contain predominantly omego-3 fats and monounsaturated fats and their diet contains very few carbs. Years of History don't lie............

The latest study published in Health Affairs revealed that the United States now ranks 49th for male and female life expectancy worldwide, a ranking that has fallen sharply from fifth place in 1950.

Specifically, U.S. per capita health spending rose at nearly twice the rate of other developed countries between 1970 and 2002, which means the U.S. spends more than twice the amount on health care as other developed nations. American medical care is the most expensive in the world, and what do we get for this "price?"

Ever wondered where Canola oil comes from?

Olive oil comes from olives, peanut oil from peanuts, sunflower oil fromsunflowers; but what is a canola? There was nothing on the label to enlightenme, which I thought odd. So, I did some investigating on the Internet. There areplenty of official Canola sites lauding this new "wonder" oil with all itslow-fat health benefits.

Here are just a few facts everyone should know before buying anything containing canola. Canola is not the name of a natural plant but a made-up word, from the words "Canada" and "oil". Canola is a genetically engineered plant developed in Canada from the Rapeseed Plant, which is part of the mustard family of plants.

According to AgriAlternatives, The Online Innovation, and Technology Magazine for Farmers, "By nature, these rapeseed oils, which have long been used toproduce oils for industrial purposes, are... toxic to humans and other animals".(This, by the way, is one of the websites singing the praises of the new canolaindustry.)

Rapeseed oil is poisonous to living things and is an excellent insect repellent.The garden guy says that undiluted it will kill the aphids on my roses. It suffocates them. Rape is an oil that is used as a lubricant,fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base and as a illuminate for color pages inmagazines.

It is an industrial oil. It is not a food. Rape oil, it seems, causesemphysema, respiratory distress, anemia, constipation, irritability, andblindness in animals and humans. Rape oil was widely used in animal feeds inEngland and Europe between 1986 and 1991, when it was thrown out. Remember the"Mad Cow disease" scare, when millions of cattle in the UK were slaughtered incase of infecting humans? Cattle were being fed on a mixture containingmaterial from dead sheep, and sheep suffer from a disease called "scrapie".

It was thought this was how "Mad Cow" began and started to infiltrate the humanchain. What is interesting is that when rape oil was removed from animal feed,Since then there have been no reports of "Mad Cow"

The canola supporting websites say that canola is safe to use. They admit it was developed from the rapeseed, but insist that through genetic engineering it is no longer rapeseed, but "canola" instead.

Except canola means "Canadian oil"; and the plant is still a rape plant, albeitgenetically modified. The new name provides perfect cover for commercialinterests wanting to make millions. Look at the ingredients list on labels.Apparently peanut oil is being replaced with rape oil. You'll find it in analarming number of processed foods. There's more, but to conclude: rape oil wasthe source of the chemical warfare agent mustard gas, which was banned afterblistering the lungs and skins of hundred of thousands of soldiers and civiliansduring W.W.I. Recent French reports indicate that it was again in use during theGulf War.

Canola oil from the rape seed, referred to as the Canadian oil because Canada ismainly responsible for it being marketed in the USA. Studies with lab animals weredisastrous. Rats developed fatty degeneration of heart, kidney, adrenals, andthyroid gland. When canola oil was withdrawn from their diets, the depositsdissolved but scar tissue remained on all vital organs. No studies on humanswere made before money was spent to promote Canola oil in the USA.

Check products for ingredients. If the label says, "may contain the following"and lists canola oil, you know it contains canola oil because it is the cheapestoil and the Canadian government subsidizes it to industries involved in foodprocessing.

I don't know what you'll be cooking with tonight, but I'll be using coconut oiland old-fashioned butter, NOT genetically unmodified cow.

HomeworkTime to go to the kitchen and toss out all the bad fats. (no more crisco, canola oil or corn oil)Next time your at the store buy extra virgin Coconut oil. Then when you have a recipe for butter or margarine do the switch.We fry taco's in coconut oil and nobody has every said my these taste tropical.

Don’t Drink Your MilkAmerican as Apple Pie, milk is considered red white and blue for bones and teeth. The Dairy Industry has spent years indoctrinating the American public that we have to have milk. Is this a factual science truth? Unfortunately, this is misinformation paid for extensively by Milk’s advertising campaign. About 1940 the Meat and Dairy Association started by teaching elementary school children the four basic food groups and making the food pyramid to sell their products.

Did it work at your house?

Americans drink more milk that any population in the world. If milk and meat give us strong bones we should have the strongest bones in the would. Right? Wrong we have the highest rate of hip fracture in the world. Hip Fractures are a direct indication of osteoporosis.

Cows Need To Gain 300 Pounds The First Year - Do You?Cow milk is perfect for the cow, but do we want to grow that much each year of life? Elephant milk, wolf milk, tiger milk and human milk all have marked differences in the content of fat, protein, sugar, and minerals. The composition is consistently different for each animal, and after a very short period of time, the baby stops drinking the milk. Humans are the only species that continue to drink milk after birth.

Human Milk = Blood Minus The Red Blood CellsIn the mothers tummy the baby gets it’s nutrition from the umbilical cord blood and later from the mother’s milk. At birth, the baby has no gastric acid in his tummy, to digest food. At about eighteen months, the eye teeth start to come down through the gums, and Junior’s GI system begins to flow with gastric acid. Once the gastric acid is flowing, even mother’s breast milk will curdle in the tummy, and milk is no longer the perfect food.

Harvard Nurses Study on 78,000 Woman Showed that Milk was healthy or unhealthy ?What do you think it showed? Milk was Good or Bad?

The Harvard study showed that those who drank cow’s milk were more likely to have osteoporosis and brittle bones. American woman drink 30 times as much milk as New Guinean women, yet suffer 47 times as many broken hips. Dr. Campbell head of the nutritional research at Cornell and the China Project for the U.S. Federal Government reported that osteoporosis tends to occur in countries where calcium intake is the highest and most of it comes from protein rich dairy products. His Chinese data indicated that people need Raw Liquid Light vegetable plant source calcium and not animal source calcium. It is not surprising that there is no osteoporosis and broken hips in China.”

Animal Source Calcium Won’t Help Our BonesOur bodies can’t assimilate inorganic sources of calcium such as rocks and mineral. Calcium fortified foods and most calcium supplements cone from rock and mineral. This calcium can’t be used and so the body deposits it around the joints, and in the blood vessels and in the kidney and gallbladder. It is this calcium that causes arthritis, high blood pressure, kidney and gallbladder stones and bone spurs.

Second, when milk is pasteurized it not longer has the benefits it did in the raw form and becomes gluey and mucus forming. Most people don’t have the enzymes necessary to digest the cows milk. Cow’s do – we don’t.

There are many other things that render this calcium useless in the body and cause it not to be absorbed. These things are salt, caffeine, refined sugar, carbonation, aluminum, nicotine, antibiotics and Vitamin A supplements.

Calcium From Vegetables Make Stronger BonesAll raw liquid light green vegetables are high in calcium and have an absorption rate of calcium of over 50% compared to cow milk calcium that is about 32%. Chocolate milk has no absorbed calcium at all -- it’s a total loss for your money.

You Absorb 32% Of The Calcium From MilkCows don’t have problems with broken hips. 1 cup of Milk has 194 mgs. calcium, BUT only 32% can be absorbed by YOU.........Into your body YOU get a grand total of 60 mgs. You drank 194 mg of calcium but you only absorbed 60 mgs.

32% Of the Calcium from Cow’s Milk is Absorbed - OnlyYou absorb 50% Of The Calcium From VegetablesBok Choy you get 523mgTurnip Greens you absorb 460mg Collard Greens you absorb 279mgKale you absorb 227mg1 cup cooked or raw spinach you absorb 129mg1 cup Broccoli you absorb 91mg1 baked sweet potato you absorb 89mgOne Cucumber you absorb 54mg 1-cup raw cabbage you absorb 52mg1-cup green beans cooked you will absorb 50mg1 cup of beets cooked you will absorb 44mg1 cup of cauliflower you will absorb 44 mgs.1 cup of raw broccoli you will absorb 43 mgs.1 cup of carrots provides 16 mgs of calciumI bet you never thought of broccoli has a high calcium food?

Why Do You Drink Milk?

Did you know Milk has toxic chemicals added to it?Another huge reason for not drinking your milk is that to keep a mother cow’s milk producing, a dairy man must shoot up their cows with tons of growth hormones, steroids, and estrogen. Many receive antibiotics because they are in close confined fenced corrals standing in poop.

Pasteurization Kills Enzymes, the fake Vitamins, and Minerals are added.

What exactly is low fat pasteurization milk? It is milk that has been cooked and then all the good stuff is squeezed right out of it. The diary men add back refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup and a bunch of synthetic vitamins and minerals. No enzymes are added back. Your normal digestion uses Lactase for assimilation of lactose, galactase is utilization of galactose and phosphatase for the use of calcium. Pasteurization literally kills these precious enzymes that make milk easier to digest. As old humans, our pancreas is not able to produce these enzymes, or may be over stressed leading to poor health. Why do it to yourself with Milk?

Low Fat Is Dead Of All NutrientsMany times, we drink low fat or skim milk, without the butterfat. Without the fat, your body can’t absorb or utilize any of the vitamins or mineral in the fluid part of the milk. The butter part of the milk is also the best source of Vitamin A. Again a total loss for your money.

FDA Approved Bovine Growth HormoneThis chemical hormone increases insulin like growth factor (IGF-1) and survives the pasteurization, ending up in your bloodstream and into the bodies’ cells. In the cow, the Bovine hormone frequently causes breast infections leading to antibiotics being administered.

Cows milk is the number one allergic food in this country. It has been well documented as a cause of of diarrhea, cramps bloating, gas, gastrointestinal bleeding, iron deficiency anemia, skin rashes, atherosclerosis, and acne. Why not drink calcium in the form of vegetables in Raw Liquid Light smoothies?

Is Cutting out the Cow -- Out Of The question?The question is not -- is it right or is it morally wrong?It is what is best for your future the future of your kids? Considering the information you now know – what is the action that will get you the highest level of health.BAM Cutting out the COW makes room for more veggies and more healthy proteins like cashews, almonds and walnuts.

Live Milks In A NutshellUnlike cow, nut beverages contain no saturated fat, cholesterol, or lactose. However, wait, there’s more. Consider the almond; he is full of protein a great source of calcium copper, fiber, vitamin k, iron, magnesium manganese vitamin E, and zinc.

Allow The Kids To Make Their Own Milk. For presoaking the nuts (almond, hazelnuts, brazil, or cashew) in water when you go to bed at night. In the morning rinse and recover with fresh water. When you go to use the nut drain and rinse the nut one more time. Nut milk is super easy to make. Put one part nuts to four parts water into the blender and wiz them on high until the nuts are completely broken down. Add 1 T. ground flax seed and 1 t. lecithin granules. Next, pour the milk though a piece of cheesecloth or a big tea fine strainer. You may enjoy adding 1-teaspoon vanilla or orange extract to your milk. For many of my raw smoothies I just leave the pulp right in the blender. Almonds are the only nuts that are known to alkalize the blood. It is high in arginine, an amino acid that boosts the immune system and inhibits tumor growth.

Sweet Crème Fraiche1 ½ c soaked cashews1 Tablespoon + 2 teaspoons lemon juicepinch of salt3 Tablespoons + 1 t agave½ c water Begin to pulse slowly and then turn up the speed. This will look just like whipped cream when your done, but will taste better and be full of calcium and enzymes.

Tory Long's best whipped cream everTory had us over for dinner and dessert one night, not long ago and served the bestwarm brownies and they had the thickest lactose free whipped cream ever. Here is her recipes1can of Thai brand coconut milk refigerated overnight (the other brands containemulsifiers that keep the water and the solid coconut from seperating.) Keeping it cold is to help you seperate the solid from the liquid. Pour off the liquid and use it for a smoothie the next morning.Scoop out the solid coconut at the bottem of the can and whizz it in the blender with a pinch of stevia. This makes up into enough whipped cream for six people.

About Me

Recently, for the first time in all my blogging, I decided to design my site and add a few, hand-picked products. They are foods or equipment I use myself. I've tried and tested each and can offer them at a fair price. I am very choosy, and want my products to be really helpful and/or healthy, I guarantee you'll only get the best. When you shop here you'll get more than what you paid for! You also get my personal customer service and support. I am accessible - you can reach out to me personally and get the answers you need. Here is my cell phone please call between 9AM and 9 PM Mountain Standard Time. That is what makes buying here the best real value on the Internet!
I am a Dedicated Wellness and Holistic Health Care Practitioner, Advanced Nutrition and Raw Food Insturctor, Aroma Therapist and insturctor.
I graduated from CSU with a degree in Food Science and Nutrition and also have a degree in Nursing from Union College.
